my name is Silvio, I'm working on a research istitute in Italy.
For our experiment we use webdav endpoint that aggregate multiple wedbav storage in a single namespace. Would be nice use winscp to access to those data, however I see that winscp does not follow redirection, maybe because the system use to redirect the client to endpoints which are different from the starting one.
Would be possible change this bheaviour, allowing the client to follow redirection even to different endpoint as browser does? Maybe the user can select it as an option, if this apporach is conisdered bad from a security point of view.
This possibility should be allowed by RFC4437.
Thank you for your attention and congratulation for your nice client.
So does it mean that your server redirects different folders to different servers?
Something like that. The typical storage system work as follow, there is one frontend server (head node) that store the full namespace of the filesystem, then when I try to access to access to a specific file, the head node redirect me to one of the disk server (disk node) that store really the file.
The browser can work properly with this kind of redirection.
